Favourite #3

Here's my favourite from March last year.

I took at 7.30 in the morning just after the snow plow had pasted,we'd had a huge dumping of snow and were about to get another one.I liked how the light looks at that time of the morning and how the snow was blowing at the end of the street,so that you couldn't see to the end.

I turned around to face the other direction and got this......

Snow blowing like crazy across the road,I decided this was the time to get back in doors !! I do love the little touch of orange from the dead leaves in the bottom left hand side.

Favourite #2

Here's my favourite from February last year..........

It's my favourite because:

1, Just like January I hardly took any other pictures in February.
and
2. I just loved the bold shiny red against the paleness of everything else.

The Valentines tradition in my home is that my lovely husband places chocolate hearts all over the house before he leaves for work,for me to find.Some I don't find until later in the day as they're in obscure places ! I love that shell too,it's so smooth and worn by the sea.I picked it up off the beach when we went to see our friends for New year at LBI,NJ.I picked up a ton more but had to edit them !

Favourite #1 !

Well in order to try and keep this blog alive until April I thought I'd post a few of my favourite photo's from last year.They're just personal favourites for one reason or another,not masterpieces in photography by any way !

So I'll go month by month and last January just like this one I took barely any photo's. I did manage to capture this one....



Love the way she's so alert,she promtly took off after this shot,I miss seeing the deer in the garden.I haven't seen them at all this year although there is evidence that they've been around and on Christmas day we briefly saw them running across our neighbours yard.But,sadly no photo ops for me so far this year.

Snow

I just thought I'd post a couple of photo's taken after the last snow fall we had.

A view from the front of our house and below is out the back,the fence is nearly buried ! Excuse the over exposed sky.It doesn't seems like we've had a lot of snowstorms,the kids haven't missed any school but there's a lot out there.......I was sinking up to my thighs in the back garden and there is a good 2 and a half feet on the roof of the house.



We spent Saturday morning clearing snow and i just had to try and capture the icicles on Stu's eyebrows !!

Omega Park

Just thought I'd put my favourite pictures from our visit to Omega Park here.

Going in Winter is fun,the summer is so busy that yes you see things but the animals are hungrier in winter so they know cars mean food.......

The wild boar are funny....and smelly !

You aren't supposed to get out the car and strictly I didn't,I opened the door and stood on the door sill without my feet touching the ground !! There were no other cars around so I wasn't holding anyone up.I just wanted to get a shot without the fence in view and anyway we brought them hot dogs which they much preferred to carrots !

I've posted that one as my photo a day for December 26th but I'm showing it again as it's my blog and I can do what I like and it's my favourite of the day!

30th and 31st December

A few days into the new year but here are my last 2 photo's of the December.

Above is the 30th,it's a blurry shot but this is the view I saw every morning from my kitchen window,it's the tree in my neighbours garden but in the early morning light it looked really pretty.I was too lazy to get the tripod,hence the blurry shot!below is the 31st,new years eve,we had friends over and I really didn't take many pictures but this is the one I'm using,no he's not blowing me a kiss he's showing me his breathe,any excuse to BBQ !!



So that's it,I think I'll do it again in April,that's always a good month with lots happening.

24th to the 29th December

Big post with catch up photo's ! I missed one day,Sunday the 28th,I could have cheated but I haven't !

So starting with the 24th December....

Christmas Eve morning above and we had snow during the night so it all looked lovely and Christmasy outside,I decided on this one as further proof that I neglected my garden this fall......poor sweet peas ! Below is the 25th,Christmas day and I wasn't feeling 100% and I always like to just enjoy the day so I probably took 10 photo's all day all of them early in the morning !

Above is the 26th,Boxing day.We woke up and decided we'd go for breakfast and then off to Omega park since it's been a few years since we went in the winter.It was great,hardly anyone there and this is one of my favourite of all 350 odd pictures I took !!Below is the 27th December,and I hadn't taken any photo's all day so it resulted in my chopped up mushrooms.

As I said no photo for the 28th but I had a great day so that's all that matters so below is yesterday's,29th December.Again not a particularly inspiring day and it was dark but I like this one even though it's not totally in focus.

2 days left.
